Certification

I recently finished my master's degree in Quality Engineering and Management, and I'm working on breaking into the quality field. Since I don't have direct work experience yet, finding a first job has been a bit challenging. I've been researching certifications, but they can be expensive, so I want to be thoughtful about which ones I pursue. From your experience, are there specific certifications that tend to help early in a quality career or make it easier to land that first role?

Thanks so much for your time and insight!

Hi Keith congrats on your masters where did you pursue your masters of you don't mind me asking? I was thinking about getting a master's but for now I think I'll focus on getting the CQE certification with ASQ. 

LinkedIn definitely helps open more to recruiters ets. It can be difficult to find positions in Quality. Even if you see positions that are more QC or admin for manufacturers or certain types of facilities it may be worth it to get your foot in the door! 

Best of luck!
